I officially "killed" my June Scrapbook Kit with this layout and I even used the packaging that the cork Thickers came in!  A grid design with small 2"x 2" photos and small photo mats or layers is a great way to use up all the little bits that you might otherwise consider throwing away or hoarding.
I cut up the Thickers packaging into 2.5"x 2.5" squares to use as my bottom layers....



A few splats of bronze Colour Shine and machine stitching always helps ;-)

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time it's a 8.5"x11" page with a single 6x4 photo.  I don't often use large photos but when you don't have much paper left in your kit, a large photo can take up a good amount of space ;-)



A bit of Heidi Swapp Colour Shine is always a good idea!


I cut up some of my patterned paper scraps to make these tags.....

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time it's a 8.5"x11" page using a page design that I use often.  I find it really helpful to have "go-to" sketches or designs so I can just get on with it and make a page!

I try not to keep too much of the copious amounts of artwork that come home from school but I do make sure I take a photo of everything and either include it in my Project Life album or on a regular layout.








This travel-themed kit can be used for any kind of journey documentation, including a child's journey at school!

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time it's a 12x12 page with a row of 3x4 photos.  I am getting down to paper scraps in my kit but I still have heaps of embellishments to use up :-)








There's nothing terribly clever with this layout- this set-up is one of my go-to's so it came together very quickly.

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and I have used two small square photos on my 8.5" x 11" page.  I usually like to have my photos close to each other on my pages, but this time I decided to separate them and pop my title in between.  Instead of using my usual white cardstock background I decided to use yellow to match the patterned paper.




I die-cut my tag from patterned paper but you could easily do this with a paper trimmer.






A sprinkling of white Heidi Swapp Spray Ink really popped against the yellow background.



These die-cuts might be travel-themed but you can use them for so many other stories too.

I'm back with another layout using the June "Globe-Trotter" Kit and this time I tried two things that I don't do all that often- I used patterned paper for my background and to that I added texture paste mixed with gold paint through a star stencil.




I used two of the little kraft envelopes from the kit as layers.



I used the gold star transparency to continue my star theme.






I layered a transparent diecut over the "My View" one for a fun look.

I love the little acetate die-cuts that come in the kit- easy to adhere with either stitching or staples.






I added some gold Heidi Swap Colour Shine instead my usual black ink splats.



I created my title from the Crate Paper Cork Phrases and Arrows that came in the kit.  I love this font!

For my next card I stamped my critters directly onto my background, using some Post-It notes for masking the areas where they overlap.  I coloured them with Copics and layered the panel on a dark orange card base.





The next card's background was created with a large oval die before the two resulting pieces were coloured with Distress Inks.  I stamped and heat embossed the critters before watercolouring with Inktense Pencils.  Then I die-cut them and adhered with foam tape.  The "Congrats" sentiment was from WPlus9 (set now sold out) and I white heat embossed it.
